You can hear this song, and many others, at The Internet Archive:

Some corrections to the lyrics posted by Dale Rose back in 1997:

VERSE 1:
She promised to meet me when the clock struck twenty-three,
Down at the stockyards about a mile and a half away,
While pickled feet and hog heads was nineteen cents a pound.
She's my freckle faced dumpling Sara Jane.

VERSE 8:
I'm a highly educated man
And there's things in my brains that I have planned.
Now I've been on earth too long, till I've learned to sing a song
That old Abraham and Jacob used to sing.
